The ratio of male to female workers in two companies A and B is 13 : 10 and 7 : 5, respectively. If both the companies have the same number of female workers, then what is the ratio of the total number of workers in A to those in B?

Explanation

Let the number of female workers in both companies be 10x10x. For Company A, the number of male workers is 1310×10x=13x\frac{13}{10} \times 10x = 13x, making the total 23x23x. For Company B, the number of male workers is 75×10x=14x\frac{7}{5} \times 10x = 14x, giving a total of 24x24x. The ratio of total workers in A to B is thus 23x:24x=23:2423x : 24x = 23 : 24.
